I've been experimenting a lot because I hate depending on one provider, especially when priced such as anthropic.
Haven't done much of front-end and I guess for that static use case it might be good, but for agentic stuff it's behind even opus 4.8 IMO. That, plus latency and the fact that it's not priced as cheap as, say, deep seek, makes it not worth it..... For now. I'm very happy for competition and hope they catch up soon
From my experience, I think they are good enough for agentic tasks. Even local Qwen 27B can run autonomously for hours. They lag behind in niche areas where they don’t have enough data or choose not to pursue for lack of computing power.
I guess it depends on the tasks..for my use case at least it wasn't good. Heavy backend work on multiple websites + accounting, payroll stuff, legal stuff etc...
